The total contract price was 14.412,160. They found that the Cincinnati district had undertaken to supply as many of these articles as all the other ordnance districts of tha country.

The signing of tha armistice, naturally, brought to an end the contracts made in the Cincinnati district for the production of these particular articles, with the result that they had not In all instances been executed completely. A resume, made In a report to C. L.
